Compiling V for Windows

AlphaBlend Blues

if using DEV C++ to compile and you keep getting this error
[Linker error] undefined reference to `AlphaBlend'

check your main-win.c

just under the includes if this doesnt match FIX it!!

/* Make sure the winver allows the AlphaBlend function */
#if (WINVER < 0x0500)
#define WINVER 0x0500
#endif

To use Alphablend WINVER must be 0x0500

also link in -lmsimg32

if that's too confusing I've added a patch at my GitHubRepo GrimBob/angband

I've used bloodshed Dev-C++ with relative ease, mind you need to manually include the resource files

How? Can VS2008 import GNU Automake projects? Can it use Automake?

Attached are the steps that I use when I compile in visual studio. I would think that similar steps would be used in any ide.

How is this done, short of cross-compiling on *nix? Is putting MinGW in the PATH required? (I hope not, because that completely breaks CMake.)

More specifically... Can I compile V in an IDE? I've been trying to make it compile in Code::Blocks, but I haven't been very successful...
